what less this week than it was a

head. Killers are not very keen for

of steers offering the early part of the

freely for smooth fat she stuff, hut

stags held steady at firm prices.
Swine values lowered 20 cents from
the old price Monday. The first half
of the week furnished big receipts,
Monday having one of the largest to
tals on record. Quality of stock has
been generally good and pork is being
finished more carefully; $8.00 as a
light hog quotatoion has stoop the test
right through the week. Good demand
prevailed at the lowered prices, mar
ket closing steady to firm.
Sheep house business was one of
the most active of the year. A plenti
ful supply of choice lambs and mutton
was offered the buyers, who have
been short handed for some time.
They advanced prices Monday, but
later receded, and the close was about
where it was seven days ago, but is
steady. Prices on best grades are as
follows: Yearlings, $4.75 to $4.90;

WATER REPORT AND
- REPORTS ON WATER
OREGON CITY Ore., Nov. 16. (Ed
itor of The Enterprise) Once more
the people of Oregon City have receiv
ed conflicting reports from expert
chemists regarding the purity or im
purity as the case may be, 'of our city's
water supply. These reports seem to
be decidedly at variance and "who
shall decide when the chemists dis
agree?" One thing is certain that the
people of Oregon City have definitely
decided that they desire water from a
different source than that of the pres
ent supply. This is made apparent by
the fact that a large percentage of our
citizens continue to boil the water be
fore using after it has been declared
free from colon bacilli by the expert
chemist.
Now we have before us the" report
of the city council's committee, on
sources of water supply. And, by the
way, we wish to commend said com
mittee for the careful painstaking, pa
tient methods they have used in laying
before the public the various sources
from which we may obtain a supply of
pure water. Now that this report is
before us we shall be expected to
make a definite choice of the source
from which we shall supply the city
and as a citizen, I hope that this may
be done without one faction attacking
another faction, without, villification
or interchange of personalities. Let
each one seek the best interests of ev
ery one that a wise decision may be
reached and the best interests of the
city secured for the future prosperity
of our historic city depends very large
ly upon the present disposition we
make of our city's water supply.

The charter committee of West Linn
decided Saturday night not to call a
mass meeting of the citizens on Wed
nesday, November 19, but would,, in
stead, follow out other methods pro
vided by the law for the placing of
officers of the new town in nomina
tion. Blanks will be printed and left in
the office of the recorder for the pe
titions to be used in nominating the
new officers. There the candidates
or their friends may find them, secure
the number of signatures required and
file them before noon on November
26. -
The petitions must be acknowl
edged by two persons before a notary
public. Before the committee called
a mass meeting to name the officers
but it has decided that such a -pro-ceedure
is not necessary at this time.
